Rang the info. number. I did not do this before because it was after hours.
The solution was simple, apply pressure with finger to lid and press start button. Evidently the plastic lid distorts when closed and does not make electrical connection. Works OK now.

While it doesn't require a collection bag, a Dyson-brand vacuum cleaner
can still suffer the problems of wear and tear that are prone to any
vacuum cleaner--for example, a frayed power cord. If the power cord of
your Dyson vacuum cleaner has become frayed, change it immediately to
avoid a dangerous electrical mishap. You will need a replacement cord
from an electronics service center, along with a few common household
tools. You do not need electrical skills to complete the task.
Follow this steps on how to replaced the power cord assembly:

1 Unplug the Dyson vacuum
cleaner's power plug from the wall outlet. Press the button on the top
front of the plastic collection cover. Lift the cover off the front of
the vacuum cleaner and place it aside.

2 Trace the power cord to where it
enters the back bottom of the vacuum cleaner. Remove the screws from
the panel surrounding the power cord with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove
the panel. Aim the beam of a flashlight inside the compartment so that
you can see where the wires at the end of the power cord wrap around two
screws on the motor assembly. Loosen these screws with a Phillips
jeweler's screwdriver.

3 Pull the power cord out of the
compartment and dispose of it properly. Strip a 1/2 inch of insulation
from the ends of the two wires of the replacement power cord. Run the
wires into the compartment along the path of the original power
cord--pushing the wires into the grooves inside the compartment.

4 Tie a knot on the cord on the inside of the compartment to prevent the cord from being pulled out.

5 Wrap the exposed end of each
wire of the power cord around the loosened screws. Tighten the screws.
Replace the panel and reattach the screws. Stand the vacuum cleaner
right side up. Place the bottom of the plastic collection cover into the
bottom front slot on the vacuum cleaner. Push the cover back on the
front of the vacuum cleaner.

1. There is probably a hook type affair on the back of the trimmer that you are supposed to route the extension through to keep the plug from falling out.
2. I would never do what I am going to tell you for safety reasons. It is possible to get a piece of cord, a tie wrap or a hose clamp, adjust it to fit over the trigger and around the handle so that when you pull the trigger, you slip this tight fitting device over it and it keeps it held in tightly enough so you don't have to keep your hand on it. Be advised that this is dangerous in that if you drop the trimmer or hit the electric cord, the trimmer will continue to run uncontrollably until you can get to the power, slip the device off of the trigger or the trimmer cuts the electric cord.
It can be done, but as you can see, it can be very dangerous. These things can amputate fingers.

Since the problem was with the plug on the electric cord, I replaced the plug, I cut the old plug, peel off the plastic cover on the cord, they were two wires, black & white, I purchased a new plug in a Home center, attach the wires to the new plug and it works just beautiful now, it was a two prong plug, which made it easier to fix.

I only had it about a month when the sealing wire broke. I returned it to the store and they replaced. One month later the same thing happened again, but because it is more than 30 days I can not return it to the store this time. I have misplaced my bill of sales. Where do I go from here.
